Two teenage girls have been arrested in a violent subway assault on a 55-year-old man, punching him in the head in an attack that sent the victim to the hospital, police said.
According to police, the two teens were on a northbound 4 train departing Utica Avenue in Brooklyn at about 1 p.m. when they encountered a man and became aggressive with him, police said. The nature of the dispute wasn't immediately clear.
Police say the teenagers became violent and attacked the 55-year-old man, punching him in the face and head. Video of the incident showed the man eventually punching back in an attempt to defend himself.
The victim, Charles Bunn, was taken to Kings County Hospital with multiple cuts to the face and head.
The teens, identified as 18-year-old Chantelif Solano and 17-year-old Shaquana Rhem, were arrested on the corner of Franklin Avenue and Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn and charged with assault.
They are both awaiting arraignment. Attorney information wasn't immediately available.
And thanks to the fact that you can’t even carry a knife there the guy had no weapon to defend himself. I will NEVER step foot in NYC EVER.
A snap open baton is in order here ...
Sounds like they are in need of a trainer.
I am in the No 4 subway ALL THE TIME. Trust me i know
Please ban assault teens! If we can save just one old guy from a beating.......
They were arrested hanging out on a street corner....hmmmm...

Lucky you! It’s bizarre - I saw some innocuous looking guy get off at 42nd St and bump into some thuggy looking kid (for those who don’t know, everybody bumps into everybody when they’re getting off the train, because there are people trying to get on before the others have gotten off) who then pursued him and demanded an apology! The guy had actually already said sorry, since New Yorkers are more polite than you’d think. But that wasn’t enough for the inflated ego of this thug.
Fortunately, the guy (a Hispanic who was probably a busboy or waiter) apologized again and by that time the transit police were beginning to notice, so the thug got back on the train.
But these creeps are always ready to explode over nothing.
Great story...I hope everybody here reads it, because it really shows that no matter the country or race, thug behavior is thug behavior. Think Clockwork Orange.
The only problem is that here in the US, one particular group has been given a free pass on its thug behavior. This is unfortunate for blacks, because most of the thugs’ victims (like the older man in this video) are also black and I’m sure the average black person is not thrilled by this either. I live in a small town with an area where there are a lot of black people who keep a shotgun handy...not because of whites, but because of black drug thugs.
We’ve got to demand the same standards for everybody in the US. No passes on bad behavior because of melanin content.
But obviously white liberal judges, who keep releasing these thugs onto the community, think it’s just fine, since the judges don’t take the subway but get driven to work in black cars, don’t have to travel in public outside of working hours, and don’t live in any place where they might come into even casual contact with the thug contingent.
